Slots 101: Basics, Strategies, and Discussion (with poll)

[panjul07]

My current good result on slot games, I had 1,000x on Razor Shark and 1,700x on Rise of Merlin.
Not a big win since I played with the lowest minimum bet only as I played them just for the contest by btcgosu but still nice win for me.



For this 1,000x it came from a normal spin as I hit the 1,000 gold coin.



This one 1,700x from a free spins with all opened symbols but unfortunately could not win the max win.
It can be one of the prove that hitting max win in Play n Go is quite hard.
One of my best multiplier with Play n Go, or maybe my biggest so far as I dont really remember what was my biggest multiplier in Play n Go games.

Of the many times I played slot games, I always won small wins, even as long as I was a gambler, only once did I get a sizable win.
Even though every time I play, I always use the spin buying pattern strategy, but I only get small and small wins.
There are several patterns that I use but they haven't been able to give me all the big wins.
Is there anyone here who plays using a buy spin pattern to be able to benefit from the free spins that you get.

For Starlight and Gate of Olympus, is a commons but when we get a huge wins, sometimes it will be a max-win, so if you really don't want your money to run out quickly, try moving to another game if you have used the buy bonus feature several times but still get a small win. a lot of users here have suggested this before. In other side, if you feel a bit stressed because you often get small win results, try to stop playing, there is still another day that might give different results for you. so there are only 2 patterns for you, change game or stop playing.

You should send "Razor Shark" to the guy with name @roycilik. Why? cause he falling in love with that slot, make him triggered to getting rekt on there ~XD.

Buy feature, most the time using for the section we all think bad in normal spin. Especially for normal spin who around 200+ spin without bonus in case for Pragmatic Play, because most the time 100 Spin = 1x Time Buy Feature.

I think, it's depends on the situation and normal spin people hoping to get bonus with under 100 spin & to avoid must getting minimum 100x multiplier win.

Move to other games after several tries is good option, other alternative can be trying with normal spins first after doing several bonus buy. If the result on both normal spins and bonus buy is not really good, we can try other games from the same provider or move to other providers. Stop playing is a wise suggestion, no doubt about it as it will help us to control ourselves so we wont force ourselves trying to hunt big win.

I only withdraw 50% of the winnings and part of my betting budget for the week.

btw, I've never had any withdrawal issues. I'm just saying that I don't really like playing slots using a VPN.

Isn't the same for all providers when you are in your bad luck time? 
When it comes to luck, even with small bankroll, you may hit big win/multiplier.

yeah right, even today I feel unlucky at Pragmatic spending a few bucks without a big multiplier

My best in no limit city games was more than 4,000x and I've posted about it in this thread sometime ago.
In some casinos, yes you need to use VPN but there are some casinos where you do not need to use VPN to play No Limit City.
I hit my best multiplier NoLimitCity game in the casino that you promote in your signature and I do not need to use VPN to play it.
Aren't we from the same country?

yes true we are in the same country but when i want to play on NLC provider i have to use VPN. somehow with my account even though we are in the same country.
even though I want to get experience from an NLC provider but I'm reluctant to use a VPN.

thanks @mu_enrico

But lately I feel unlucky to make several deposits but the results are not good, and I decide to take a break and come back on the weekend to start another round. lol

before getting maxwin I also lost many times without satisfying results and decided to stop for a while and come back with a surprise from Pragmatic, lol

and I hope that when you come back you can get max win as usual which you have shared here

Starlight and Gate of Olympus are my 2 favorite slot games because those are the only 2 slot games and Moon Princess 100 which I always play until it becomes a mainstay game.
But it's true that I always get small wins there and even then I can only return all my previous losses because I can only take a small amount of net profit.
To try other games, I'm not really interested. If you really want to try it, at least one or two times, never to be able to really pursue profits in other games.
It's a little difficult to be able to stop before my funds run out because I always have a fund limit in gambling so if the funds haven't been used up I won't stop unless I can get a big win, then I'll stop and withdraw the win.

Guys, when playing slots do u feel there is difference in payout if u use automatic spin or manual spin?? Its a strange question, but sometimes i feel more lucky feel doing manual spins

yup, lots of forum members give this advice and all of them are "seniors" of slot gambling. There's no way they would give this advice otherwise it's good for us.


Sorry, I'm a bit confused by what you mean about this,

It's a little difficult to be able to stop before my funds run out because I always have a fund limit in gambling so if the funds haven't been used up I won't stop unless I can get a big win, then I'll stop and withdraw the win.

if for example you have a limit of IDR 1M, you always used all of your limit till run out?(lets say to Zero)? If this is your activity, I suggest dividing into several game will be better. I have my own experience, when I play with deposit more than IDR500K, I often split it, for example from Pragmatic, move to Spadegaming and the rest to other provider. if all three are still lose, then it's not our lucky day. Because some times it's true if divide into several games, there is one time we can win in another game.

Nope.

But some "Indonesia" my local country are using auto-spin for pattern, they think is there has some pattern from the spin we're set up. Basically, all-of these is just speculation things even my self are have a pattern/speculation based on my game play.

Pragmatic Play should be hitting bonus around 100-120 spin, tha't just my speculation there is no solid proof about that.

Again Play n Go despite giving me great pleasures from time to time continues to impress me with over 700 spins to give me the bonus round and to get exactly 0 amount of money in the Green Knight slot bonus round.It is totally my fault as I know if it passes 20-30 dollars with minimum bet without giving you the bonus a single time,you are on a bad run and I should have stopped but this still amazes me,how many people would quit gambling if this was a continuous happening,I think we would see a lot of people quitting the most profitable business for the casino,the slot machines.

i've played more than 60k spins from play and go slots, atleast... never got more than 1500x... and like u said play n go its easy to notice when u are in a bad run so its easier to quit session.

Usually in play'n go I often see from 100 to 200 spins if that doesn't work to get the bonus round I will move on to another game.
Because usually in play'n go between 100 to 200 spins will give at least 2x the bonus round and give a hefty multiplier to make a profit.
But yesterday I lost quite a lot in play'n go at Moon princess got bad control, not the usual one that gives multiplier at least 1000x, but ah this might be my unlucky day.
But it is true that luck is needed in slot games and if it comes to a bad day, in any game you will lose.

Are you serious? 60k spins with no more than 1500x is bad obviously, but let me ask you. Is this 60k spins in your single gambling session with 1 game or it is a total number of the spins for weeks/months or even years with some different games? It will be really bad result if you got no more than 1500x with 60k spins and you did it with 1 single game. However it is normal if you did it randomly by moving from one game to other games.

No, it has no difference in terms of payout, but for some people, manual spins give more pleasure.
Me for example, use manual spins most of the time, maybe because I have Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) lol


Play'n GO doesn't necessarily have some pattern that you can spot, but since it has no bonus buy, you'll get tired without wasting too much money. Unlike Pragmatic with its "deadly" bonus buy.

You'll notice the same feeling when you play other providers with normal spins (not with increased bonus chance, 2x bet, etc.)

As strange as it may sound from me but yesterday tried in normal spins in Pragmatic Play one of their new games Wild West Duels which has three type of bonus rounds and I loved every one of them (well the highest one I bought it as it never fell on the reels) as the other two bonuses felt relatively often compared to other Pragmatic Play slots and this had a unique pattern,at least that is what I spotted playing for over 2 hours with 0.20 usd minimum bet,in the bonus rounds you either hit it big with sensational wins or you barely make a penny and that was chaotic to say the least.However it is a sure thing for next week I will play this slot and forget about Play n Go for good hopefully.

Haha, I love it - manual spins vs. auto spins! I gotta confess, I'm in the manual spin "club" faction as well. It just has more of a cathartic ring to it, ya know? And I totally get where you're coming from with the OCD stuff. I ain't got it myself, but I got a few homies who do, and I'm aware of how crucial it is to possess some petty rituals and routines that grant you a sense of command. So if manual spins give you that sense of control and satisfaction, more power to you!

As for Play'n GO, you're right on the money. Their games don't have any legitimate sequence, but that's what's so damn good about them! It maintains the experience novel and thrilling, and it implies that you're never cognizant of what's about to happen next. And I surely co-sign your opinion on Pragmatic's bonus buy - that thing is like a damn black hole that will suck out all your cash!

But what really matter is to have good time. Whether you're spinning the wheel manually or using auto-spin, playing Play'n GO, Pragmatic, or any other developer, the most significant thing is to revel in yourself. So go ahead and spin that wheel, bro, and let the good times roll!

That totally depends on one's mindset and how they have been doing it. Someone who has seen better wins with manual bets will have it fixed in their mind that it wins more if you do manual spins, while others who hit bigger multipliers with automated spins see that as a more viable solution. But at the end of the day, it is all only in our minds and how we see it.

In my case, I've always felt like I'm wasting my money if I'm doing manual spins as it almost looks impossible to hit a multiplier that way. It just looks easier to hit multipliers with automated spins, but as I said, it's all just in our minds.

It is normal because not many players can get more than 1500x. If some players can get it, I think they are truly lucky compared to us.

Maybe we can get it next time and get more than that in another slot game. Play'N Go is a slot game provider that is just as easy as Pragmatic Play but it also depends on how lucky you are. So just keep playing as usual, whether normal spins or buying bonus features.

Indeed, lets say it was distributed between 6 slots... but terrible result still hahaha
